Good morning from a cool and cloudy Hastings day.
Yes, I am back. It was a hectic few weeks and I am glad that the work is over. I had to make 5 bow ties, 1 normal tie and do 5 dressmaid alterations all over the past couple of weeks. I was still working right up until 6 pm last Thursday on the dresses. Two of the zips broke as well so I had to replace them. Sigh. But the reward was to spend the weekend down in Wellington with my daughter. She turns 21 next week but my son and I went down to spend this long weekend with her. I had a fabulous day alone with her at Zealandia observing the native birds and going for a very, very long walk.
I must thank everyone for their wonderful comments on my Monochrome of the Day. There is a new version of Topaz Textures available with some fantastic new filters. So I was checking them out with my blooms. Yesterday I was still in Wellington so the eggs were edited on my iPad with Snapseed. I do appreciate all your support.
This week for Sally’s mobile photography challenge I am showing a photo taken with my iPhone 6s on the road to Otane. Sometimes the wetlands look amazing very early in the morning with the sunrise. I just managed to capture this one. Edited with Pixlr.
